At the press conference on March 8, 2026, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke of the Palestinian question.

Wang Yi noted, the situation in Gaza tests the very foundation of international justice. The international efforts that enabled the ceasefire are welcome, but hard work still lies ahead to consolidate the ceasefire, advance reconstruction, and find a comprehensive and lasting solution to the question of Palestine.

Wang Yi pointed out, there is only one equitable and widely-recognized solution to the Palestinian question, which is the two-State solution. Any other arrangements or new mechanisms must reinforce—rather than undermine—the two-State solution. The international community should not allow the Palestinian question to be marginalized again. The U.N. has a greater responsibility to play a lead role in driving the process.

Wang Yi stressed that turmoil and war need not be the fate of the Palestinian people. Like people elsewhere, they have a legitimate right to be free from war and to enjoy peace and development. As a responsible major country, China will continue to support Palestine’s just cause of pursuing legitimate national rights, and facilitate international efforts to restore justice to the Palestinian people.
